[Playdar](http://playdar.org) is really starting to gain some momentum as great services like [playgrub](https://web.archive.org/web/20100824050755/http://playgrub.posterous.com/new-supported-sites)[^1] build on it's strong foundations.
I've just added to Playgrub's codebase by building some additional scrapers so that **you** can make use of [Toby](https://github.com/toby)'s fine webapp to (legally!) listen to some popular radio playlists on your own schedule!
So if you feel like listening to music from XFM, Radio 1, Kerrang! or NME then you should do the follwoing:
* [Download](http://playdar.org/download) and install the (frankly epic) Playdar service.
* [Browse to playgrub.com](https://www.playgrub.com) and install [the bookmarklet](javascript:(function(){%20host='http://www.playgrub.com/js/';%20_my_script=document.createElement('SCRIPT');%20_my_script.type='text/javascript';%20_my_script.src=host+'playgrub_bookmarklet.js?';%20document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_my_script);%20})(); "This bookmarklet good as of 2009-12-28")[^2]
* Go and visit your favourite radio playlist or musical listing and hit 'Grub'!
The number of services currently supported is still limited, so if there's a site you've found that lists songs you'd like to be able to grub then please let us know! Hopefully Playgrub will have a request feature soon, but in the meanwhile leave a comment here or [have a look at the code behind them](http://github.com/toby/playgrub/tree/master/scrapers/) - if you know any Javascript at all you'll be able to write one yourself in no time!
Finally, if you're interested, stay tuned to the [playgrub blog](https://web.archive.org/web/20100824050755/http://playgrub.posterous.com/new-supported-sites)[^1] - playdar will only get more popular in the coming months[^3] and playgrub is bound to be at the forefront.
[^1]: Import note: I replaced the (now non-functional) link to the playgrub homepage/blog with a link to an Internet Archive copy, only to find it's a post talking about me! It's making me blush 😅
[^2]: Neither of these links will work now, as playgrub no longer exists 😞
[^3]: It didn't, but it was fun while it lasted!

![The visual element of Project Prime: a slightly chaotic stained-glass window of different coloured polygons of colour in a rectangular web browser page.](voronoi.jpg)
I finally got round to [completing project prime](https://poetry.byJP.me/projectprime/), it's a collaborative artwork based on four of [my poems](http://poetry.byJP.me), Chapters [I](http://poetry.byJP.me/poem:chapteri), [II](http://poetry.byJP.me/poem:chapterii), [III](http://poetry.byJP.me/poem:chapteriii) and [IV](http://poetry.byJP.me/poem:chapteriv).[^1]
Though these are, perhaps, uninspiring names they were chosen to allow readers (in particular the collaborative artists involved with this work) to form their own interpretations and impressions of the poetry. Over the course of several weeks 44 people submitted a little information about themselves and their impressions of each of the pieces.
Each person is represented in the artwork below by a coloured shape. Each shape's centre is placed on the canvas according to their age, with older people towards the right, and the first people to collaborate nearer the bottom. The colour of the shape shows their preference towards each poem the stronger the primary colour the more they liked that poem; red for Chapter II, green for Chapter III and blue for Chapter IV. Chapter I has is preference shown by transparency, the faster a shape pulses the more it was liked by the person it represents.
If you're interested in the code I used to generate the work, you can see it [in a gist on github](https://gist.github.com/jphastings/362995) -- I hope you enjoy it!
[^1]: Import note: I'll update these links once I've finished importing my poetry site!

![A web-based questionaire describing this project/poem, asking people their age, and what they think of the poetry.](questionaire.jpg)
In its final days now, [Project Prime](http://poetry.kedakai.co.uk/projectprime/)[^1] is my attempt at combining art, poetry and maths in a funky little collaborative weave.
Hopefully, the result will be a collection of people's opinions of my poetry in a dynamic visual form… I'm still to be convinced that it'll work well though! I'll probably end the work this weekend, and work on producing the final piece… stay tuned.
[^1]: Import note: My poetry site still needs to be imported!

[Cy Densham](http://poetry.kedakai.co.uk/author:Densham/)[^1], my literary counterpart, is in the process of releasing a haiku in four parts. This part, _Chapter I_, whilst not conforming to the traditional standard for haiku of 5,7,5 syllables it is in the same vein. Hopefully more will become apparent as the remaining chapters are released!
[^1]: Import note: I'm still working on resurrecting my poetry site. I'm really hoping I can complete it, these four chapters were very enjoyable to write.

If he doesn't get on it soon I certainly will![^1] URLs can be a real pain to speak.
[^1]: Import note: I did! iconic.im existed for a fair while, the code still [sits on github](https://github.com/jphastings/iconic).
